It's very discouraging to know that you're almost afraid to go to sleep because an amiibo can come and go during that time. I woke up today to see notifications that this was up for sale and that it was gone.

How am I going to get the amiibo I missed without something valuable to wield as a bargaining chip? That fact that I NEED a bargaining chip is worrying in and of itself.

@CapeSmash Yeah. Also by the "first" game I mean the DS one, the first one to feature the toys. I don't know much about the GBA one that just has Mario himself.

Anyway yeah, in that first DS game I loved messing around with the editor too. But then the DSiWare version came out for some odd reason they took away the ability to stop them! I lost all interest after that...

@GrumbleVolcano You ninja'd me before I could finish typing this post, lol. I never played the GBA one, I meant the first one to feature these toys.

I lost interest in this series after we lost the ability to make them stop by tapping them. I think that was probably only ever in the first game, sadly. Until they bring that back I really don't see myself buying another game. I hate that helpless feeling that once you start a toy it won't stop until it either reaches the end or is destroyed.

Speaking of bugs, I stumbled on one that if a fairy is directly behind Link when he scoops it up with a bottle, he'll be healed by it AND he'll capture it, essentially getting two uses from one fairy. I think I pulled it off one more time after that. It needs further testing though, to be sure that that's what triggers it.

This game, despite being free, is highway robbery. I hate free-to-play, pay-to-win games with a passion. It's just taking advantage of young/stupid people.

I used to play Farmville waaaaay back when I actually used to use Facebook a lot. Then I started noticing I was being prompted to pony up the cash for any little thing that was actually somewhat cool/useful. I stopped playing.

Flashback EVEN MORE and I was a little kid, playing Neopets. It was great fun until they started wanting real cash from me for anything mildly nice. I left. My Neopets are probably dead by now, if that's a thing.

@MoonKnight7 The funny part of it is is that I just came up with that name on the spot as I was typing the comment. I figured it was a more unique name that worked because of the Circle Pad Pro basically built in.

@CaptainGonru At least It wouldn't have been Nintendo's fault parents are upset if they came up with a more distinctive name. Then they could blame the parents for not having common sense rather than Nintendo taking the blame for making parents spend $180 on an honest mistake that was no fault of their own

If they wanted to clear up confusion, they should have given the dang thing a more distinctive name!! Like the 3DS Pro or something! Imagine little children telling their clueless parents they want a "New 3DS XL" for their birthday and they instead get a new "3DS XL". Nintendo you frustrate me.

Great!! I'll place priority on the figures more than the cards of course, but I'll buy cards of the characters I can't find or have multiple functionalities in different games that would require wiping my amiibo's memory.

Other then the incredibly hammy writing (barf), great story. I'm glad they got their 3DS back against all odds. I think he was incredibly lucky his 3DS was found by a person kind enough to try so hard to return it. Maybe I have low faith in humanity but I expect 80% of people who would have found it would have either kept it for themselves or sold it for some quick cash.

I had a little bump during my transfer in the form of a disconnection in the final stage, but I restarted everything and tried again, and it went through the second time. Nothing was lost, thankfully. System transfers sure are stressful
